Jay's team had a Disneyland team event the last Friday of the month, so he drove out there Thursday night...me and the kids were going back and forth about meeting daddy there...flights were too expensive, train was too expensive, that would mean I would have to drive 4 hours there by myself with the kids, which I had never done...I can barely drive an hour, daddy is the driver :) In the name of love, we did it :) I rented a car one way and we left right after school...didn't even stop at home because I was too scared I would get distracted, wanted to get on the road as soon as possible in the day light! I did it though, which is a huge accomplishment, may not seem like a big deal, but a huge one for me...hee! Still can't believe it!
didn't do much Friday night, just hung out at the hotel, but got up early so we could take advantage of the day since we were leaving that night...took the fam to Plum's in Costa Mesa
for my already featured deep dish pancake...hee!
then down to San Juan Capistrano...had recently heard about a petting zoo down there, Zoomars...super cute little place...fed the animals
this was his favorite spot...not a fan of guinea pigs, but this is where they had the most fun
poor little scared rabbits
they ate though
the big kids even had fun :)
mining
for treasures
more animals
train ride...I forced them to go on, but they really didn't want to, they wanted to stay with the animals...hit me that they may be getting too old for train rides :(
never too old for pony rides!
walked around the rest of downtown San Juan Capistrano, cute little shops and restaurants...want to go back for this tea place I saw :)
took a bunch of pictures like this per Jayson's request...he got this spy watch from a happy meal and wanted us to call him agent :)
kids begged daddy to stop at the beach since they didn't want to head back home, so we let them put their feet in
or a little more than feet :)
We got alot done in a day, was nice to go somewhere in Socal that we hadn't been to before...love these quick weekend trips...we may be doing them more often, especially when we need to get away from the Vegas heat!
